EVGA’ SC17 1080 Gaming Laptop Is Now Shipping

The new EVGA SC17 1080 is only slightly changed from its predecessor, the SC17 1070. It still features an overclockable Intel Core i7-7820HK Kaby Lake processor, 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-2666 memory, a 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, a 1TB 7,200RPM HDD, and a 17.3” 3840 x 2160 IPS display with Nvidia G-Sync onboard.

The SC17 1080 now packs three USB 3.0 ports, in addition to the USB 3.1 Type-C port, giving it enough connectivity to run an Oculus Touch setup, which the SC17 1070 lacked . Making this rig a mobile VR gaming powerhouse.

Both the CPU and GPU are overclockable using EVGA’s Precision XOC Mobile software or a hotkey preset (SC mode or downclock with EOC hotkeys), and the keyboard’s LED backlighting can also be controlled using the company-branded software.
